The French Papers of Thursday, received this morning, bring the close of the debate of Wednesday, and part of the discussion on Thursday, in the Cham ber of Deputies, on the Address in. answer to the speech of the KING on opening the Session of 1836. By a refcreuce to the report of the early part of the debate in the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday, published in our impression of yesterday, it will be seen that the four first articles of the Address were adopted without much opposition. Not so the sth, which was the subject of an. animated discussion, and upon which three several amendments were moved by MM. DE MORNAY, -BIGNON, and D'HARCOURT, each tantamount to a protest against the CZAR'S sup pression of Polish independence. The sth article of the Address, as drawn up by the mouthpiece of the Committee, M. SAUZET, ran thus:— The first want of civilization, Sire, is peace, and we have received with pleasure from the lips of your Majesty, the as surance that the state of our relations with Foreign Powers is satisfactory. Our close alliance with Great Britain is a further pledge for the continuance of peace. It guarantees the recognition and inviolability of rights stipulated by treaties, the observance of which is indispensable for the maintenance of the balance of power in Europe." This article being read, the Marquis de la MORNAY ascended the tribune, and moved an amendment, to be inserted after the first sentence ; all the words after " satisfactory," in the original paragraph being omitted. The article, as atnended by the Marquis, was conceived in these word::— " The first want c;f civilization, Sire, is peace, and we have received with pleasure, from the lips of your Majesty, the as surance that the state of oui' relations with Foreign Powers is satisfactory. 6, This felicitou s harmony suggests the hope that, in con cert with Great Britain and the Powers whose interests are bound up with ours, you can, Sire, re-establish the European equilibrium, so necessary to the maintenance of peace, and that the first pledge of it will be the preservation of the ancient nationality of Poland, guaranteed by treaties." Upon the article thus amended, an able debate fol lowed, which had the effect of unmasking the Duke DE BROGLIE. The Temps was not misinformed when it stated that the Duke to whom France com mitted the guardianship of her Foreign relations, was 13il1m~ f s ki 71:: 4 J STIN _DC)N SA'rUTIDAY JANUARY IG, 1416 mere intimate with NESSEL RODE and PAULEN than comported with the dignity and interests of the Freiicli people. The Noble Duke, driven to the last extre m;ty, was fain to throw aside. the diplomatic mask , alia,openly avow himself the friend of the AUTOCRAT. Pfotests, he'assured the Chamber, were of no use, and Fratee had no other means of evincing hostility ! France had already formally protested against the de struction of Polish nationality ; the CZAR had laughed at that protest ; and were the Chamber to repeat its protest, the CZAR would repeat his disregard of it. Why, argued the Noble Duke, expose yourselves to unnecessary insult and ignombiy ? If you protest agdint the aggressions of Russia, as you are pleased to call them, the ENIPEROR will tell you that you had better mind your own affairs ; and perhaps to proVe . how contemptible you appear in his eyes, be u l ay, commit still greater enormities. Well, what follows? You must protest again, and again your protest is treated with contempt and yourselves with ignominy: And pray what next ? Nothing. You shall have then done all that France has the power to do ! Be submissive therefore. Do not provoke a vengeance against which you cannot make head. You complain that the CZAR has violated treaties ; be thankful to the Government, and to that Providence that watches over the welfare of France, that he has not committed 'still greater enormities. You arc intemperate in your Llangttage ; if you hive your country correct this evil ; and when henceforth you have occasion to speak of the CZAR. remember that he is the Lord's anointed, and whisper his name with fear and trembling—as becomes loyal Frenchmen I Such, in point of fact, was the lan guage addressed on . Wednesday by the Duke de BROGLIE to the Chamber of Deputies. There was, in truth, no mincing of matters, when the Minister for Foreign Affairs was forced to speak out, and defend the policy he had recommended to the SOVEREIGN; But thanks to the enlightened patriotism of the Cham ber, France is saved the infliction of the stain with which DE BROGLIE assailed her honour. His speech, than which one more insolent, cowardly, and con temptible, was never uttered in the legislative assem bly of a free people, was ably answered by M. ODILLON BARROT, who, on this occasion, spoke the sentiments of at least thirty millions of the inhabitants of France and Great Britain. The result was, that the Chamber by a very large majority adopted the amendment of the Marquis de la MORNAY, recognizing the independent nationality of the Kingdom of Poland. We congratulate the brave expatriated Poles—we congratulate France and England—we congratulate the Free States of Western Europe, on the amend ment thus carried by the. Chamber of Deputies. Its effect will penetrate to the wildest regions of Siberia— its consequences will extend as far as nations and tribes are subject to the influence of Russian ambition. The Duke de BROGLIE may affect to sneer at such a mode of resisting the encroachments of Russia ; but the DUKE knows well enough, that such a preliminary Was necessary to the adoption of more decisive Mea sures. We cannot, for an instant suppose, that the Deputies of France will halt in their determination to resuscitate Poland. By this amendment they will have proved to the British Parliament, on its first as sembling, that they are tenacious of the honour, dig- nity, and good faith of France ; and they will have afforded an example to that body which no English Minister will dare to repudiate. One great question at least is settled by it. We are no longer in doubt as to the prevalent opinion in the Chamber of Deputies, and we know what is to be expected from the diplomatic labours of DE BROGLIE. If there be such a thing as p.utio.l_oo7tency in the characters of public men in France, the Duke DE BROGLIE cannot retain his seat in the Cabinet after this re v - c..L...t1 v.. tit 1.1.. - Eq. The vote of the Chamber virtually disqualifies him from retaining office an hour longer ; for it is not possible that he would descend to the degradation of being instrumental in carrying on measures which be believes, or pretends to believe, dangerous to the wel fare of France. Should the Duke DE BROGLIE retire, we know of no Member of the present Cabinet better qualified to take charge of his Ministerial Poriffeuille than M. THIERS, now Minister of the Interior. M. Tit ERs is not much of a diplomatist : but he is better—he is a man of enlarged views, tolerably straight-forward, and well acquainted with the Russian aystem of political aggrandizement. Now such a man would be worth twenty of the ablest diplomatic quib-* blers in Europe in the present juncture of affairs.. There is no need of protocols, and notes, and ex traordinary missions. All that a Foreign Minister of France or England has to do, is to speak the opi nions of the country to which he belongs, and to speak such opinions openly, decidedly, and without admitting quibbling explanations, and temporizing suggestions. There is nothing more worthy of free States in their intercourse with other nations than an adherence to strict truth, and a constant endeavour to simplify the, language of negociation. Now :NI. THIERS, with all his faults, of which vanity is not the least conspicuous, is withal a man capable of repressing the ambition of Russia. The Count de NESSELRODE might enclose him in a Gordian knot of diplomacy ; but THIERS, if in such a predicament, would not hesitate an instant to call upon France to release him by a free use of the sword. This would render subterfuge of no avail ; and would oppose to the Russian thirst for conquest the dread of a certain retributary vengeance. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, who, if not the sagest, is at' any rate the drollest, of existing Aristo crats, has again come forth, after a silence of unusual length, to challenge public attention by one of those whimsical out-breaks of oratory,- for which he has so long been notorious. He has, in fact, discovered an other mare's nest ; having actually found out—of course, with the assistance of the Tory Times—that the reason , why Sir HOBERT PEEL changed the air • of the Treasury, for that of the Opposition Benches, last Session, was, not bccau3e lke was out-voted by the Reformers, but because he was jilted by the Con servatives, who, though they promised to take him for better for worse, yet, like arrant coquettes as they were, reserved their affections for a more aristocratic sweet-heart. On this, the Noble Marquis, at the Dur ham • Conservative Association dinner, at which he held the post of Chairman, observes, in a strain of uncommon sensibility : " Good GOD, is the time not arrived, when it is necessary for the Conservative 'Vern hers of the House of Commons to do their duty un flinchingly by their constituents ? Often, when Sir Ro- BERT PEEL went down to the House of Commons, many of those who ought to be his supporters, were enjoying the pleasures of social society, I declare that the leaders of the good cause were often left in the lurch ; and if the General has no troops, in God's name, how is he to wage a successful war with the enemy ? I do not now recal these circumstances with a view to recrimi nation, but for the purpose of guarding against the evil in future ; and in the hope that, in time to come, the, Conservative Members will stand boldly by their' colors." We hope so too, for, as we observed a few days ago, our victory will not be complete, unless it be over the entire numerical force of the Conservatiies, To beat a small detachment of them is nothinm=-:we must subdue the whole legion. No Tory can possibly be more solicitous for the Parliamentary attendance of other Tories throughout the approaching Session, tban we are. We wish them to muster in their fullest force) so that th;.! country tiiay be enabled fairly to estimate rather their non-resources: Not & 111- tent with following in the wake . of the Timi's, in his de- nunciation of Conservative negligence, the bright Mar quis went on to Say:that " in the coming Session, he will call upon Lord . MEo3ourtNE to says, aye or no, whether the connexion with O'CONNELL does, or does not, exist." We can imagine theneniOus anxiety— the shrinking affright, with which the Noble head of his Majesty's Administration will read this awful de claration. How will he shudder when it comes to be put into practice, and he sees his gifted opponent rising for that purpose in the House of Lords ! We should not omit to mention that the Noble and Gallant Marquis, in giving out the different loyal and co nstitutional toast,:, in his capacity of Chairman at the Dinner to which we have alluded, actually gave the "British Navy," before the " Princess VICTORIA " - - a blunder for which he apologized on the score of the "en thusiasm of his loyalty !" Surtiv, it was rather early in the evening to make such a blunder, and such an apology ! The new 'from Spain is cheering tb the cause of Constitutional freedom,. The troops,of Pon CA4LoS in Navarre are' deserting in numbers;: chiefly in conse quence of fifty-six - days pay being due to them; and; ; though exploring partics of c.qo,,A4s make their appear, ance almost daily, in the villagesiin the neighbonrbood of Vittoria, yet they never IfAitto make a precipitate retreat, at the very first sight of ite" English troops. From Arragon and Catalonla.., ; 4le 4 mostrecent aclviCes are favourable to the 4tTEgX§,_cause. intelligence from Barcelona brings dreadfUl accounts of some po pular disturbances which took place in that city on the 3d and 4th instant, provoked by some inhuman mas sacres of the Carlists. We observe in City article of the Times of yester day, which will be found in another part of our paper, allusion again made to the Danish Claims. We wish not to - be misunderstood in recurring so often to this subject ; for although our object is to advocate the cause of the poor suffererS, yet our remarks are equally prompted by our anxiety for the reputation of Minis ters, which would be compromised if any attempt were made to avoid claims so just, and so universally ac knowledged by public opinion. We are confident that if our gracious and kind-hearted MONARCH were fully aware of all the circumstances, he would recommend to Parliament an immediate_ grant . of these just claims, by which Many an unfortunate sufferer would be re lieved, instead of being tantalized from year to year, in the hope of an uncertain surplus, for which the CHANCELLOR has always other calls. In the event of Colonel Evans vacating his seat for Westminster, in consequence of his Military duties in Spain, Admiral Napier intends offering himself as an opponent to Captain Sir Thomas Cochrane. The Gallant Admiral is cousin to Colonel Napier, rho re cently made a strong and spirited speech at Bath, and at the last two elections at Portsmouth presented himself as a candidate on Radical Reform principles. The electors of Westminster will of course strictly in vestigate the gallant conaueror q , Miguel's fleet, as to the staunchness of his Radicafpretensions. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.)

The cases argued were appeals from .the orders of Justices at Sessions, relative to the settlement and removal of paupers, and con tained no points of public interest. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Baron 13otaLA.ND was so far recovered from his late ill ness as to be enabled to attend and take his seat in. Court to day along with.the other Barons. The Court was engaged up till one o'clock in hearing Mr. Sergeant TAl.Forip and Mr. CRESWELL against a rule for a new trial in the case of " Chattock v. Shave." The latter Learned Gentleman was stopped at that hour, as their lord ships had to meet tire other .Judges in the Exchequer Cham ber, to decide upon : the Crown cases reserved for their opinion from the Sessons.f. , ;We refrain from giving the case until it has baen.concluded, as it involves much of the private life of a late respected Officer. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Our 'arrivals this morning are an (Mend mail, and ship let ters from Rio Janeiro, Demerara, Jamaica, Lisbon, Calcutta, Sept. 7, and Mauritius, Oct. 19. Demerara papers have been received of the 28th November. Nothing of importance appears to have occurred in that colony since the last adviees. Under the head of Barbadoes, we find the meeting of the House of Assembly had been called for the 3d November, and the non-attendance of the Members is thus explained in the TVest Indian :—" There was no meeting of the House of Assembly on Tuesday last, most of the Members being engaged in planting beans 1" New Brunswick Papers arc received at the North and South American Coffee House, to Dec. 6. Of the timber duties they state :—" We are glad to find that the change recom mended by the Select Committee of the House of Commons, on the duties on timber, has roused our fellow colonists to a sense of their danger for the operations of such a measure. The example set by our merchants has been followed in Frederick Town, Miramichi, St. Andrews, and the counties of Gloucester and Kent; in each of which places public meetings have been held, and petitions to the Imperial Parliament pre pared." MIRAMICIII, Dsc. I.—The wea er during the week has been unusually cold, and the frost intense. Several schooners from Quebec, with flour, were expected, and their non arrival will be severely felt. Several vessels are frozen in different parts of the river. THE FUNDS. Mr. Spring Rice, in his explanations to the merchants on the slow progress made by the-Commissioners for the Slave Compensation Fund, stated that the Commissioners, from the lOth September to the 21st December, had comprehended 13,363 separate cases; and compensations amounting to 9,069,237/. Owing to the non-arrival of the [tench Mail, with the Ex press from Paris as yet, the speculations in the various Funds are inactive.

Smith, by his constituency, the Reformers of this borough. The Chair was taken by George Peach, Esq., who, it was anticipated, would have been the Mayor of Northampton under the new municipal arrange ments, but which anticipation has been prevented from being realised by a species of trickery well worthy the Tories. It appears that the Town Council arc here equally divided— nine Reformers and nine Tories. Upon the day on which the Mayor was to be chosen the nine Liberal Council pro ceeded, about ten minutes before twelve, to the Town-hall, the doors of which they found fastened. They returned to the Peacock, and went to the Hall again at twelve, with the exception of one who had gone home for a few minutes. When they arrived there they found the nine Tories assem bled, who proceeded forthwith to elect a Chairman ; and so ra pid were their motions that, notwithstanding the [rperneptloonmda: .t,eevdt them to e . them aenie who h a d go o home, was in the Hall at four minutes past twe l v e, they had olecto4 cmo of their own body as Chair man, who, r bs a uy t p i pL n: or i r;ie n i :fl c tl oh e roa i n . . r ca ti leve,i:nagFri and 11;treth:uybas; Mer. thet 4 h i e a yv‘ l a f rs t .

Williams, Esq., Alder map g9ttpp t 8 11. 9 e 1 v. Mr. Serjean t, T. Percival, DANISH CLAIMS. By a letter received from Hull it appears that there are numerous residents in that town interested in that class of Danish claims which arises from the confiscation of ships and cargoes, as distinguished from book debts, which claims have been allowed to stand over under the late arrange ment, and that many of them arc in a very destitute condi tion. This has. not, of course, anything to do with the merits of the case, but, as there can be no doubt of the jus tice of those claims, it is a strong addition for pressing some measure for their relief on the consideration of Parliament. The only approach to an argument against their claims has been, that the confiscation of ships and cargoes, whether in :port or oa the seas, was in conformity with the practice and usage of war among European nations, which would have .some weight, had not the British Government, by their own act, provoked the reprisals, and become possessed by that act of the means of indemnifying all their own subjects who had suffered injury by it. No motive but that could have justified their retention of the funds after the peace. It is a very unfortunate circumstance for these persons, that when the general jUstice of their claim was, on their appeal to Parliament, admitted, the Ministers then in power ,should have been" permitted to take upon themselves the decision. of which the claims were just. They got over the difficulty, it seems, by an appeal to the law officers on an abStraCt qUestion which had no thing to do with the „point at issue. By ancient treaties with Denmark it can be shoWrithat the British sufferers, but for the act of their own Government, 'Might have claimed in a case of common war six mouths' time to re move their ships and merchandise in safety ! , and that they might, by later conventlau.4.l.4ave claimed the neutrality of the Baltic., The if Ttlipiherefore resolves itself into this, the 'TreasurY havinci• lAN in hand ont - of which to satisfy the claims—that., - ,thero .will actually. , be a profit made by their own Government out of the losses of British subjects, than which a more disgraceful circum stance can hardly be imagined. But the,session.of Parlia ment is now near at hand, and it is to be hoped that the sufferigg claimants may then securely reckon, on having justice done them. • FLORENCE. (Extract of a Letter from Florence, dated Dec. 26.) The . Government. of this country has just given a fresh proof of its justice and liberality. Foreigners were allowed by a law of that great reformer, Leopold 1., to buy real property in Tuscany, but those foreigners alone were ad mitted to succeed to it by will or inheritance in whose country Tuscans enAted the same privilege. This seems to have been devised' la some enemy to counteract the bene volent intention of thi law. It was wholly at variance with the justice and humanity of this country, where the confis cation of goods has been effaced from its penal code; to confiscate the estate of a foreigner, under the pretext that the Government of this nation would do-the same towards a Tuscan in similar circumstances. When the Romans re quired of the Carthaginians the 'abtili4ori of human sacri fices, having been themselves coliVigeldv i of the useless bar. - barity of such practices, they did not say that if thQ Car thaginians did not consent to abolish, they wOuld continue them. The attention of the Government here having been respectfully called to the subject, a law has just been pro mulgated admitting all foreigners without diStinetion to suc ceed to real property in Tuscany. I hope thin country may derive some advantage from it ; injury it can receive none ; and the'present Grand Duke, by this act of justice, has shown himself to be a worthy descendant of hiS great and good ancestor. It would do honour to your' reform of Parliament if the same system towards the property of foreigners as is now adopted here and in France were intro duced into England. Sterne justly reproached France in his time with the danger to his portmanteau in That ;country from the Government itself, but he said nothing of the law concerning the property of an alien in England. Franc in the beginning of the revolution, and again in 1819, the aua — tre — oin Mfoarous law revived by the Code Napoleon, and Tuscany now, by securing to every foreigner without distinction not only his personal but real property, have gone beyond the imagina tion of the philanthropist, and set a 'bright example to'the world. TUMULTS AT BARCELONA. (Extract of a private letter.) " BARCELONA, JAN. s.—This city was last night the scene of, the greatest horrors and atrocities. In consequence of the cruelties, lately committed by the Carlists at a sanctuary Our Lady of the Garden, the public mind herd 'became evi dently "excited, and the fermentation was augrantecl to the highest degree by the news received - tan ' Sunday that a eompaity"i3f `the '.sth Regiment of the 'MI6' and several .of the National Guards of Espartagueta;-• Who escottdi the post to Madrid, had been surprised and almost all mas sacred within a few. leagues of this. town. On the morn ing of yesterday , several., groups assembled in . the public. places, uttering cries of Death to the Carlists,' Down with bad Government,' and giving evident symptoms of a tendency to revolution.. Towards evening the crowd in creased, and having proceeded to the residence of General Alvarez, commanding during Mina's absence, demanded that the Carlist prisoners detained in the forts should be im mediately delivered into their hands for instant execution. The General proposed to have them tried the following day by a Council of War, to be formed of the officers of the Na tional Guard, which was not acceded to by the people, who had now been reinforced by several detachments of the Na tional Guards. They immediately proceeded to the citadel, armed ,and, furnished with scaling-ladders, and meeting with no resistance from the Governor of the garrison of that citadel, immediately became its masters. General Pastor (the Go vernor) was compelled to deliver up a list of all persons con fined as Carlists, and point Out the place of their imprisonment. A horrible massacre ensued. Colonel O'Donnell was the first victim. They then shot or bayoneted about 80 more unfortu nate beings, amongst whom was a canon of the church, and a lieutenant-colonel,- a Frenchman. The several battalions of the National Guard, although drawn up, ref Used, to a man, to act against the people ; and about 11 o'clock at night a com pany of the 12th battalion caused about 15 prisoners who were in the Atarazanas to be delivered into their hands. These unfortunate wretches were all shot. The state of alarm which prevailed throughout the whole town baffles description. The body of O'Donnell was burned opposite the theatre, and his head paraded this morning through the streets. During the whole of this disturbance the authorities, civil and military, remained perfectly passive, and made no attempt to oppose the people. Altogether about 110 persons lost their lives, and amongst others, those confined in the hospital, who were taken -out of their beds, and shot in the court-yard. This morning no attempt was made by General Alvarez to restore order. The whole force of Barcelona was drawn up, and he harangued each corps separately ; the impression, however, was mo mentary ; for at this instant public tranquillity is more disturbed than ever. Bands of armed men are now parading the streets, with drums beating, and carrying a square mantle bearing the inscription of Viva la Constaucion,' and some of the National Guard have joined the people. "Seven o'clock. . 4 , The Palace-square is filled with people, for the most part armed, and the National Guard is hastening towards that place, but as there exists a difference of opinion between them, I much fear that some collision may take place, and a sacrifice of life ensue. I shall keep my letter open until the last moment, in order to furnish you with the latest. news. " Nine o'Clock. ,‘ I have*onty time to tell you that General Alvarez, accom panied by some Lancers, has had the inscription of Viva la C o nstitucion," which was placed in the Exchange, removed. Order is not however fully restored, and I fear that further disturbances will take place. ' I scarcely imarrine that, whether the Constitution is proclaimed or not, Met dizabal will con tinue in the Administration, for should he not find himself fully possessed of the means of accomplishing his great pro mises to the nation, he would gladly avail himself of the pre sent circumstances to retire altogether."—,orning Paper. • The two new Law Lords, S r C. Pepys and Mr. Bickersteth, will be called to the Upper House of Parlia ment by the titles of Cottenham and Langdale. Lady Campbell's title will be Edendale. A curious scene occurred in one of the Courts of Law, in Westminster Hall, on Wednesday last. One of the Learned Judges feeling some little uneasiness in his wig, was frequently observed twisting it in a variety of directions, and thrusting his hand up to the top of his head. The cause of his uneasiness, however, could not be re moved, and the Learned Judge at last, losing all patience, doffed his wig, and, although at the time seated on the Bench, made a most careful examination in the inside. Whatever it was that disturbed the Learned Judge's bead was then removed and the wig resumed. The circum stance, though triflinff in itself ? caused some little amuse ment in the Court.

" - THE INNISCARRA Cork Cerreipondent, Who has visited; and writes from - the spot where "the-two men fell victims to the blood-stained , systern, says,--" Mahoney owed 110 tithes to Mr. Beresford;: on thofeontrary, he was one of the few who paid up his arrears.onilhat.icai - e. This ren ders the matter much worse, and hxs tended to sharpen the wounded feelings of his brother,, .aud ,itz,creac the anguish of his poor wife. Mahoney was tkirty. years of age. Ile had been married,to a very respectable fairnor's daughter, who was passionately fond of her husband ; she it was who forced Ma honey to pay his tithes, lest he might, by his refusal or resist ance, endanger his life. And now that he is gone, she laments her loss with a bitterness of grief that is truly heart rending to witness. She hai three children, the eldest (a boy,) four years of age : she is likewise in a far state of preg-' nancy; Send for the priest,' said the dying man. His in junctions in that respect had been anticipated, yet to no pur pose, as the Rev. Gentleman came too late. The distance was considerable from his house to Mahoney's.. ,After I left the house I went to the spot where Hudson was killed. He might have escaped could he have run moderately fast, for he and the other bailiffs had a great start of the people, say four or five fields. Several of the men tcld me, without any sort of disguise or reserve, that they were on the road, and saw Hudson murdered; but they all persisted in asserting that Hudson, instead of running away, turned round and faced the people before he was struck, evidently presuming that the sight of the pistol would deter all from approaching kim. When he 'shot Mahoney, three or four men rushed on him. He was knocked down in a cavity that was between the wall and the road, and there immolated to the fury of the people. The ground was completely saturated with his blood, but the place had been scraped and cleaned since. I asked whether they were not afraid to disclose the matter so candidly to me? and they replied, They didn't care who knew it ; they would do the same again.' " The Rev. Mr. Beresford has removed much of the pre judice and hatred felt towards him by his Catholic parishioners, by the feeling address he delivered yesterday before the Co roner and Jury. He is unaffectedly sorry for what he has done ; and although the loss of life is ever to be deplored, still there is much to lessen one's regret in the penitent feelings of the Rev. Gentleman, and the example he has set, as well as the warning he has given to his brethren of the Church militant' in Ireland. The Mail praises the police for murdering only one man' in Limerick. He construes the language of the Chief Baron into an insolent threat against Lord Morpeth, and praises ) him for that. Murder and insult are lauded in the same columns. There has been another triumph of Clerical rapacity— another sacrifice in vindication of the law. The fatality oc curred at Charleville, in the county of Limerick ; the victim, aboy—a widow's son ! When, oh, when are those fearful re cords to cease ?—Dublin Register. OuTRAGE.--The house of Mr. William Crawford, near Templemore, is alleged to have been assaulted a few nights ago. " Again and again," says the Freeman, " have the land lords of Ireland been warned not to endanger the payment of rents by rashly mixing it up with that of tithes. Still they will not take the warning ; and here is one consequence of their obstinacy." ANTI-Tt ruE MEETING.—There has been a meeting held at Castlepollard, on the 6th inst., to petition against " the blood stained impost." The locality makes this, particularly at this moment, an interesting meeting, as the ground on which it was held had been once drenched with the blood of the tithe martyrs. "An Irishman's hatred to tithe is equal to his love of justice, and greater than his fear of death." Row.--DUBLIN CORPORATION.—Thcre has been a regular battle between the Recorder and the late Quarter Sessions Grand Jury. On Tuesday, the Quarter Sessions having been opened, and the presentments of the last quarter Sated, the Recorder made some very strong observations upon the con duct of the out-going Grand Jury, in interfering with the pa tronage of the Court in the appointment of a summons-server, contrary to the advice of his Lordship, confirmed by the opi nion of the highest legal authority in the country. He said that they had violated their solemn duty in presenting for the salary of that officer, and that he would not feel that he was transgressing the bounds of his duty, if he inflicted a fine upon every one of them. He would not undertake to say what fur ther steps would be taken on the subject. At Sheriff Wall's dinner, one of the Corporate Grand Jurors, who was charged with violating his solemn duty, took occasion to tell his mind upon the subject, in terms anything but complimentary to Mr. Shaw. It is pleasant to find the Corporate cormwants fight ing about their patronage on the eve of their being expelled from office altogether.—Dublin Post. KILKENNY.—A meeting is convened by a most respectably , signed requisition for Monday, the 18th instant, to make ar rangements fora public dinner to the Hon. Colonel Butler, M. F., and William Francis Finn, Esq., M. P., as a tribute of respect and confidence for the honest discharge of their duty to their constituents and their country. LORD ROSSMORE.—This patriotic nobleman has been seri ously ill at his lordship's residence in the county Monaghan, but we are happy to learn that he was much better at the date of our last letters from Monaghan. DISMISSAL OF MAGISTRATES.--The more we look into the acts of the Magistrates in interfering with and attempting to insult, in order to overawe, Mr. Gibson in the discharge of his duty, and for the discharge of his duty—the more we contern plte the,avowed motives and obvious tendency of that outra geous ProCeeding, the more we are convinced that the only f^ the exigency, and commensurate to the offence, is theilisniissal of the magiltrates who were capable of such a partisan attempt to intimidate u public functionary in- the dis charge d .his duty. Thomas-%Morony, of Milltown House, in the county of Clare,,..f i sq., has been appointed - Sheriff of that county.__.. Dublin Post. DESPERATE ATTEMPT.—On Saturday evening, about a quarter to five o'clock, as the Rev. Mr. 'Buchanan, and Mr. Bolton, agent of Lord Stanley, were travelling along the . road near Ballykisteen, County Tipperary, a man leaped f, orn behind a ditch and presented a musket at them, .de mandingtheir inoney at the same time. Mr. Bolton of feria his purse, but the fellow said " you have more money." During the parley Mr. Buchanan rode off when the ruffian fired after 'hirn,• but fortunately missed. Mr. Bolton, who, by the way, is one of the best and most considerate agents in the county , su ccr*ded in escaping , .1 think it wel to apprise you of the facts of the case, lest some of the local papers should seize upon , the occurrence, in order to mis represent an attempt at robbery as an agrarian outrage.— Correspondent of the Dublin. Post. NATIpNAL BANK.—On Tuesday last, in the Court of King's Bench, a conditional order was granted for a criminal information against the' proprietor 'and printer of the Tralee Mercury, for a libel alleged to. be -published on the 10th of November last. The prosecutor was 13:• Thompson. Mr. Thompson, in his affidavit, states that he is' a justice of the peace for the county of Kerry, and has been a member of the Orange society, but not actively engaged in it ; that he is not aware that the society is treasonable or illegal ; that -he is .agent to the estate of Lord Ventry, and has, in that capacity, transacted business with the Provincial. Banking Company'', a branch of which has been established in Trtilee; that some time since another Bank was established, called the National, of the solvency of which he • has no means .of being informed, and that he therefore refused to take their notes ; that in so doing, he was not influenced by party or political motives.
